Chapter 41 Coming back soon

It's already the beginning of April. After all, it's time for the master to come back.

Lin Ximeng closed her eyes and fell asleep quietly.

There was no trace of defeat or discouragement on his face, as if he really just had a peaceful sleep.

——

April 15th, the weather is sunny and warm.

Lin Ximeng fell into a deep coma, and Qingqing stepped forward to check her breathing from time to time.

When I really can't stand it anymore, I will hide alone and cry for a while.

Zijing has noticed several times that the red and swollen circles under her eyes come from the outside.

"Sister Qingqing, I'm going to boil some water to wipe the master's body. You go and feed the master."

The gruel delivered from the dining room was crystal clear, with only a few grains of rice floating in the air.

The master couldn't eat anything, so he only lived on this porridge.

"Why"

Qingqing responded and quickly walked into the room. It was rare that the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were not red and swollen, and she still had a faint smile.

Zi Jing muttered: "What happy event has happened? I didn't cry today."

If you look carefully again, Qingqing's expression is serious again. Where is the slightest smile?

She rubbed her eyes.

"You saw it wrong"

Who can laugh when the master looks like this?

The two of them fed porridge and wiped themselves, and they worked for half an hour before cleaning up the master.

Zi Jing sat on the footrest beside the bed, holding her chin.

"I don't know when the master will come back."

"Soon", Qingqing said firmly.

"Sister, have you received the letter?" Zijin suddenly raised her head.

"Me?", she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"I'm just a girl, what kind of trust can I have?"

"Then you're still so sure, but I'm worried to death."

"Master, with the good fortune and good fortune, everything will be fine. If we keep persisting, we will be fine soon, soon..."

At the end she almost muttered to herself.

Zijing scratched his head and didn't seem to take it to heart, still irritated.

——

Maybe God has eyes, but on the third day after Qing Qing finished speaking, Xie Chenyu came back.

The skirt of Xuanhei's clothes was slightly frayed, the soles of Zijinlin's soap boots were completely worn out, and even a corner of the jade crown on his head was missing.

All in all, he is very down and out, very different from the image of the elegant and elegant Yushu Linfeng noble prince in the past.

Even the old emperor shook his head when he saw it.

"Lao Liu, didn't you ask me to repair the upper study? Why did you suddenly run away again?"

"Where did you go to make yourself so miserable?"

Xie Chenyu knelt respectfully in front of the old emperor.

"Back to my father, my son went to Jiangnan just for the renovation project of the upper study room."

The old emperor asked what he was doing in Jiangnan.

"The main beams that go up to the study are in disrepair for a long time. Three of them are eaten by insects, and splinters of wood often fall down. Whenever it rains, the house is full of termites."

"My son is going back to Jiangnan to buy wood."

Xie Chenyu said in high spirits that he had bought ten hundred-year-old fir trees. The wood quality was fine, the grain was vertical, and the sound was like gold and jade.

He also said that this time he would renovate the study room inside and out, even the window lattice, tables and chairs would be replaced, and he was very ambitious about doing something big.

The old emperor nodded repeatedly, feeling warm in his heart.

Everyone was concerned about his throne, but Lao Liu actually had the heart to renovate the upper study, which was really rare.

"good"

He slapped the table and dialed another three thousand taels of silver with a swipe of his pen.

"Work hard, and if you need anything, just ask your father for it."

"Thank you, Father"

Xie Chenyu made several salutes neatly, but accidentally when he stood up, the hair crown on his head fell to the ground with a clang.

The old emperor felt distressed again.

"Hurry back and clean up. It's rare that you are willing to do something serious. If you do well, my father will make you the king."

Xie Chenyu thanked him again before leaving.

Looking at his son Zhang Yang's retreating figure, the old emperor slowly leaned back on his chair and looked at the thick pile of papers in his hand asking for the title of crown prince, Xie Chenke, the second son.

The last letter was a letter of remonstrance from the Queen.

It is said that Xin Shu, the legitimate granddaughter of the duke, knows etiquette, is elegant, and is worthy of being the prince's concubine. If the emperor has no objection, the tenth day of next month will be a good day, so we can ask for a name.

"Ah"

He smiled faintly, collected the folders one by one with his hands, and ordered Liufu to take them and burn them.

"After burning, send a message to the Queen and say that I am correct."

His lips were full of sarcasm.

The queen is very smart and will never directly urge the prince to be appointed, but will mess with Chao Gang secretly.

Her mother's family, the Wang family, is her greatest weapon.

A century-old family with immense power, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were more or less closely related to the Wang family.

It can be said that the roots are intertwined and the branches are lush.

He had been constrained for a long time, but he had no choice but to tolerate it.

But……

The old emperor sat quietly for a while and summoned Liufu for questioning.

"How is Xu's fetal image?"

Liufu laughed and replied that the imperial doctor would see him several times a day, and that he should eat well and sleep soundly.

"The fetus is six months old, strong and strong, and the imperial doctor even boasted that it looks like a boy a few times."

The old emperor immediately smiled and said hello three times.

"Then continue to live there until she gives birth."

Liufu's expression changed several times.

The queen sent people to urge her several times, saying that the concubine should be taken care of in the harem if she was pregnant, and that it was against the rules to live in the Emperor's Qianqing Palace, so she asked him to persuade her.

Haha, the emperor rules over the world, when will it be his turn as a eunuch to talk too much?

Luk Fu never said that, and it was the same this time.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Liufu went all the way to Jiaofang Palace.

At that time, the queen was chatting and laughing with the second prince. The two of them were wearing homely clothes, one was sitting on a chair and the other was sitting on a footrest, just like their biological mother and son.

The second prince also changed from his usual seriousness, and now he was lying on the queen's knees.

"This multicolored stone comes from Hotan in the Western Regions. Although it is not as rare as jade agate, it has a very good meaning."

"Local rumors say that if a stone can gather five colors, its owner will be blessed by God and have a smooth life."

"Yeah?"

The queen smiled broadly as she looked at the polished and brightly colored stones.

"You should put this thought into the girl. If your father agrees, this matter should be put on the agenda."

"I have personally checked the granddaughter of Duke Xin. She is truly a virtuous, polite and strict person. Don't let her down."

It doesn't matter if you don't really care.

Who doesn’t love the feeling of being flattered?
